Cryptorchid testis with torsion: Inguinoscrotal whirlpool sign.

ABSTRACT: Non contrast helical computed tomography (CT) study of the abdomen is frequently performed in evaluation of suspected ureteric colic. We present CT images of a young adult male patient who had torsion of an undescended, non-neoplastic testis and describe the "Inguinoscrotal whirlpool sign on CT".

Transcription profiling of testis biopsies to investigate testis developmental gene expression in cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia

Project description:Despite timely and successful surgery, 32% of patients with bilateral and 10% with unilateral cryptorchidism will develop azoospermia. Cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia display a typical testicular histology of impaired mini-puberty at the time of the orchidopexy. During mini-puberty increased gonadotropin and testosterone secretion stimulate transformation of gonocytes into Ad spermatogonia. In azoospermia risk group this transformation is to a great extent impaired. This study aimed to analyze data on whole genome expression signatures of undescended testes at risk of developing azoospermia. Twenty-three testicular biopsies from 22 boys were analyzed (19 testes from 18 boys with cryptorchidism) and 4 contralateral descended testes from patients with testicular agenesis. Expression profiling identified 483 genes not or under-expressed in the azoospermia risk group compared with the control and LAZR groups. Annotated loci were associated with spermatogenesis. Other significant genes were cellular defense response genes and hormone controlled loci involved in spermatogenesis. Some genes transcribed in normal adult meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells are activated in healthy juvenile Ad spermatogonia. Thus, molecular events initiating the testicular expression program at the onset of puberty and maintaining it during adulthood occur very early in prepubertal testes. This molecular event is to a great extent impaired in HAZR group lacking Ad spermatogonia (stem cells for spermatozoa) indicating impaired mini puberty.

Transcription profiling of rat fetal gubernaculum and testis of wildtype (LE/wt) and cryptorchid (LE/orl) animals

Project description:The Long Evans/orl (LE/orl) rat is an animal model of inherited undescended testis (UDT). To explore genetic mechanisms of UDT, we studied differential gene expression in LE/orl and LE wild type (LE/wt) fetal gubernaculum and testis. Analyses of differentially expressed probe sets linked below as supplementary files:; Analysis_methods.txt [A description of the analysis]; gub.txt [Genes differentially expressed in between wt and orl gubernacula]; testes.txt [Genes differentially expressed between wt and orl testes]; wt.txt [Genes differentially expressed in wt gubernacular development] Experiment Overall Design: Fetuses were harvested from timed matings of LE/wt and LE/orl rats at gestational day (GD) 17, 18, 19, and 20. Single gubernaculum and testis were removed from male fetuses and total RNA was isolated from each organ. Left organs were used, except for GD 20 fetuses where both right and left gubernacula were included. For female fetuses, the right and left gubernacula from a single fetus were pooled before RNA isolation. A total of 54 samples were hybridized to GeneChips; 34 gubernacular samples and 20 testes samples. There were 13 sample groups, each included biological replicate arrays. The sample groups were (1) female LE/wt GD18 gubernacula n=4, (2) male LE/wt GD18 left gubernacula n=4, (3) male LE/wt GD19 left gubernacula n=4, (4) male LE/wt GD20 left gubernacula n=4, (5) male LE/wt GD20 right gubernacula n=3, (6) male LE/orl GD18 left gubernacula n=4, (7) male LE/orl GD19 left gubernacula n=4, (8) male LE/orl GD20 left gubernacula n=4, (9) male LE/orl GD20 right gubernacula n=3, (10) male LE/wt GD17 left testes n=5, (11) male LE/wt GD19 left testes n=5, (12) male LE/orl GD17 left testes n=5, and (13) male LE/orl GD19 left testes n=5.
